[alirichter]

depends on who is playing, don't you think?

btw.: this isn't a Steinway, it's a Kawai :P

[lklklkilovehorses]

Excellently played, best Golliwog's Cakewalk performance on youtube!

The part at 1:16 is an excerpt from Wagner's Overture to Tristan and Isolde which is followed by laughter (represented musically of course). I always thought that was funny. Although I think Debussy loved and despised Wagner at the same time. Maybe because he wrote epic music but was also a supporter of the Nazi regime.

[rasmusthog]

Didn't Debussy die well before the Nazi regime?

[tabatam]

Yup.

Debussy at first was a fan of Wagner, but some of his friends turned him completely in the opposite direction.

[Jhonssens]

@rasmusthog He did ;)

[agentmabus333]

Debussy died around 1919, I think. The Nazis weren't in power yet...but they were still around, I believe.

[Jhonssens]

@agentmabus333 There were no nazis in Germany. Hitler INVENTED nazis while he was in prison (in 192x).
